Description

“I tend to search out the very odd, unusual, and romantic in a house,” says Don Freeman, who photographed this stunning collection of 13 homes handcrafted by American artists and craftsmen including George Nakashima, Henry Varnum Poor, Sam Maloof, and Russel Wright. Built over the course of 75 years, from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century, these homes were designed and built by the artists as an expression of their aesthetic sentiments, and in many cases, as extensions of their artwork. Each of the unique domains is imbued with a singular vision and talent. With text by Michael Gotkin.
